National Day of Silence
Today is the National Day of Silence, a day that symbolizes the silence that many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people must suffer through. TCU’s Gay-Straight Alliance has put together the event, though unfortunately we’re a bit disorganized and, um, small. As such, there was not a large enough campaign to let the campus know [...]

My name is Enyo and I’ll be a guest blogger this week. My blog is Redfish. I’m sorry about this post being a bit scattered, but I just haven’t been able to get my thought together very coherently. * * * I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about same-sex marriage recently. I believe that [...]
